Delta Air Lines had previously provided air transportation services to Mumbai, between 2006 and 2009. The forced termination of the service was a result of illegally-funded Middle East carriers operating on the same route.
In order to provide air passengers with a wider variety of choices, and minimize unfair competition, the Trump administration reached out to Middle East nations like the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. The agreement reached thereby, led Delta Air Lines to resume its services. You can conveniently make online flight bookings now!
